Keep Your Hardwood Floors in Tip Top Shape

You want your new hardwood floors, or newly re-furbished hardwood floors to last, don’t you? That’s why following the advice of pros like Peter Visalli, owner of Visalli Floors, a Diamond Certified company, makes good sense. Besides sweeping and vacuuming the floor regularly Mr. Visalli says that you have to remove spills right away. He suggests using a soft cotton cloth and BonaKemi Hardwood Floor Cleaner for wet spills and a vacuum or broom for dry spills and abrasives.

hPlace mats by exterior doors to pick up grit and sand, and use area rugs in high traffic pathways and pivot areas such as steps and doorways. Avoid rubber-backed rugs and non-ventilated rugs. Simple protectors on the “feet” of your furniture prevent gashes and scrapes. And finally, re-coat your surface with a finish every 3 to 5 years, as long as no wax has been applied.
